Former Florida Panthers defenseman Josh Mahura just had his day with the Stanley Cup and shared an emotional moment honoring the fallen Humboldt Broncos players.
The Florida Panthers achieved an incredible feat in 2024: winning their first Stanley Cup. Per tradition, the team and players' names were etched into the Cup shortly after defeating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7 of the Finals.
"The Florida Panthers have been immortalized on Lord Stanley 🏆"
Among the players now immortalized on the Cup is 26-year-old defenseman Josh Mahura. Mahura played 82 games in the 2022-23 season, but only 30 in the following, not making an appearance for the playoffs. He has since signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Kraken.
"WELCOME ABOARD, JOSH!! 🦑
We've agreed to terms with defenseman Josh Mahura to a one-year, one-way contract with a 775K AAV."
Though Mahura did not make an on-ice appearance in this year's playoffs and is no longer part of the Florida Panthers, he still got his day with Lord Stanley. Mahura was first photographed showing his name on the Cup to a family in Alberta.
"Great day today! It's not every day a Stanley Cup champion shows you his name on the Cup. Congrats and thanks to Josh Mahura for sharing the Cup with so many kids, big and small today, including me and 2/3 of my kids."
However, his more viral moment with the Cup was shared afterward. Josh Mahura took the Stanley Cup to the plaque honoring the players involved in the Humboldt Broncos incident in Saskatchewan, creating an emotional moment for hockey fans everywhere.
"Honouring the past! @FlaPanthers #stanleycup champion Josh Mahura takes some time from his day to never forget! @nhl #humboldtstrong @HockeyHallFame"
With little ice time last season with Florida and a retooling emergency in Seattle, this could have been Josh Mahura's only chance with the Stanley Cup. Thankfully, he took the opportunity to make the most of honoring hockey legacies, even those that could have been.
